Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE

The world knew their name. But no one had ever seen their

faces.

For over three decades, the KAY Group, a Saudi Arabian

investment colossus, had moved silently through the veins of the

global economy like blood through an invisible body — vital,

powerful, and unseen.

Founded by the enigmatic KAY Family, Indian in origin but

Saudi by citizenship, the group had grown from a desert energy

venture into a $500 billion multinational force — investing in

everything from AI to aerospace, steel to biotech. Entire nations

bent quietly to their influence, often without even realizing it.

In Korea, the KAY Group had become a backbone.

Their $65 billion stake spread across the country's leading

private conglomerates — from tech to construction to energy. The

local CEOs toasted to the invisible giants. The press speculated

endlessly: Who were the KAYs? Why did they invest where they

did? Were they philanthropic royalty? Ruthless capitalists? Ghosts?

There were only whispers of a Chairman, whose name was

never printed. A wife whose personal portfolio could fund several

governments. And two sons — one reportedly a global negotiator

and the other… a phantom. Rumors called the younger son a

storm in human skin. Cold. Calculating. Silent.

But no photo had ever been published. Not a single live public

appearance. Every press conference was handled by well-dressed

representatives who said just enough and never a word more.

Until now.

Because something had happened in Seoul.

And the KAYs were about to make themselves felt — like the

tremor before an earthquake.
